"It's Kinsley and you're right. It might be smart for us to set up camp for the night, do you know any place safe enough? I just arrived here and the first house I hit had a ghoul." She pointed behind her with her thumb to the house. It may be safe now but she didn't get a full view of it when she was running around. "I have a tiny bit of food, I don't think it's radiated if you want some. I got it from the vault before I left" She searched in her bag for a few short moments, finding only two can's of some Chicken Noodle Soup. It would have to do for now for them, it wasn't much but easily enough to get away any lingering hunger on them. She also felt a familiar object on her hand, one she had not bothered looking at since she left, not wanting to deal with that now she removed her hand. "Have you ran into any other survivors?" She asked, trying to shake the feeling not going into her belly.
{Also Sour, make them as over or under geared as you want c: Just don't want any Godmoding, which I get over gearing them may be leaning towards but not really? I mean in Fallout 4 a vault dweller could get their hands on a lot lol } |

"Errrr.....thanks..." The reply was wavey and uneven,like he was slowly falling asleep. Right now though he was only glad he wasn't getting killed. Truth be told,he had no idea how to use a gun properly. I'm pretty sure I've never even touched a gun. Now,learning about guns from drifters was one thing. But actually using one was a completely different matter. Jerome knew the basics of using one-Aiming it,holding it the right way,reloading it,those types of things- but for some reason he ended up aiming in a very ineffective way. How can one tell it was ineffective? Because when he finally pulled the trigger he didn't hit anything. With a shotgun. Using spread-shots. Looking to the stranger he gave a half smile. "As you can see,I'm only efficient in things I've dedicated my life to. Shooting is not one of those things." I loathe myself...

"Well, it's nice to meet ya, Kinsley. Sadly though, I haven't seen any others around these parts except for you; it's pretty deserted around here."
Lowering his bat off his shoulder, he looked off into the distance around them, only seeing the regular view of rotting wooden posts sticking up out of the wastes and the small outline of tall buildings way out West.
Sighing, he turned back to Kinsley. "Well, sadly, all of the structures around these parts that are near us only have their bases still standing, no roofs for cover."
Glancing around again, he points over to their right at a building with no roof like the others but has pretty tall and mostly intact walls. "How about make camp over there? Its walls will provide us with the most protection around here."

Auden followed Kinsley over to the tall walled structure, peering in and checking the rooms as he talked back to her.
"Well, I don't really have any longterm plans; been mostly travelling alone and experiencing the rest of the wastes for myself. Short-term though, I was planning to head west to the ruins of that city down there. I don't really know what's over there, but hopefully other wastelanders are there so I can stop for a rest and refill on any major supplies before heading out again."
Checking out all the rooms, he found no creatures lurking around, and after peering into the drawers and cabinets, only found some old pre-war canned food, some old bottles of water, useless junk that he left alone and a handful of caps and pre-war money. After splitting the supplies, caps and pre-war money with Kinsley, he also found a small locked safe under a counter.
Scratching the back of his head, he turned back to Kinsley. "Hey, are ya good with locks? There is a small locked safe here and I don't know the first thing about lock picking."

"Pathetic..." he lowered his hand and got closer to examine the wastelander's weapon. "Try it again," he said to the wastelander. "This time, here are a few tips; exhale as you pull the trigger. Squeeze the trigger, don't jerk it." He gestured towards the targets on the fence. "And since you're using that shotgun there, try to account for your weapon's spread. You aren't using slugs here." |

Jerome nodded in response as he pointed the weapon back at the fence and looked down the barrel once more. There's gotta be a better way of doing this. He told himself as he readied himself to preform the simple but complicated task he was about to attempt. Bracing himself he did just as the man instructed. And what happened this time? It hit! Maybe not in the best way,but he'd managed to hit a singular bottle. "Ok so the only complaint I have with this is that it's loud. I mean,why would anyone want something to be so loud? That's gotta be a bad thing right?"

"Not a bad shot," Adam complimented. He turned back to the wastelander at his question. "I suppose technically it can be a bad thing if you're trying to stay hidden or not draw attention, but otherwise it's just a normal thing. Nothing like a satisfying 'bang' to go with completely pulverizing your target!"

Shrugging, Auden bent down and opened the safe, startling him at what was inside. It looked like whoever owned this safe was a fan of rare alcohols, because inside was crammed with very very fancy looking alcohol bottles. Rare Scotch, Wine, Spirits, etc. Auden unconsciously let out a whistle, knowing that whoever owned this spent quite a good deal of money and time into collecting these.
Auden himself isn't an alcohol drinker, he's never been interested in drinking. Although he doesn't drink, this is still an amazing find, since some people would pay a ridiculous amount of caps for one bottle of rare liquor, especially since these high-quality alcohols can't be reproduced anymore, making them even rarer.
"Wow..."

Auden started to take the bottles out of the safe, placing them on the counter. "Yeah, we should sell these to a trader as fast as we can. Being glass bottles, they can easily break, and having valuables on you in the wastes is usually not the greatest of ideas."
Auden then stood up and looked at the bottles, thinking. "Hmm, it looks like there's an even amount of bottles. How about we both carry half? When we are able to sell 'em, we can then split the caps between the both of us."
To Auden, this was a good plan, but anybody with good perception would know that Kinsley has a 'History' with alcohol, based on her reaction to seeing them. Having someone like that carry around priceless booze? Not the greatest of ideas. Sadly though, Auden didn't notice her reaction and unknowingly made a bad call.

As Kinsley started to place her half in her bag, he started to place his in his bag as well.
"It would be nice to find someone to sell them to as quickly as we can, but I think it'll be unlikely so soon. I think our best bet will be to head to the old city west and hope to find others there."
He then started to set up camp on the floor in a corner; pulling out some cans of food, water and his sleeping pad.

Nothing like a satisfying 'bang' to go with completely pulverizing your target!" Jerome shivered at that. "I don't see the point in fighting like this." He admitted. "Why not leave everything to chance? People do it already,but the way I do it,no one gets killed." (Sorry for it being so short,in a hurry |

As the sky darkened and the sun lowered, Auden ate from some canned meat he scavenged through his travels, sitting on a dusty floor that belongs to a tall walled structure. As he ate, he regaled Kinsley, who sat a bit off to his right side, with stories of his travels.
He mainly talked about his journey alone in the wastes to her, but even though his time alone was actually quite boring and uneventful, he somehow managed to make a story of a man finding nothing exciting in the wastes into an enjoyable listen.
As the sky darkened further, Auden looked up at the sky and decided it's best for them to hit the sack. Stretching, he turned to Kinsley. "Hey, what should we do for the night? I personally think it would be best to do night shifts, taking turns to watch while the other sleeps." Putting the empty can into his bag he turned back to face her. "I'm up to do the first shift, unless if ya wanna do it instead."
(Sorry for my poof, had some stuff to do)

Auden nodded at Kinsley as she closed her eyes. Leaning up against a wall, he pulled from his bag a pre-war book about survival techniques and the dangers of the wild. He found this book back when he was still with the caravan, trading for it from a trader at a settlement they passed by. At this point, he has already read the book a multitude of times, but he still loves reading it for enjoyment. As he sits there reading, time slowly passes by as the moon glides across the night sky.
Yawning with heavy eyes, Auden looks up at the moon that's at its highest point. Putting his book away, he turned over to Kinsley, waking her up. "Hey Kinsley, it's time for your shift now." After making sure she was up, he reached into his bag and handed her a wild rough-looking plant with a bitter taste. "Here, this plant is incredibly bitter, it helps to jolt your senses awake." After handing her the plant, he goes over and lays down on his mat, quickly falling asleep.
